This session will focus on building the skills of graduate students, medical students, and graduate medical education trainees as medical educators. The webinar will present two distinct yet parallel methods (graduate students and medical trainees) for developing learners in the art and science of medical education. We will begin by explaining why these types of training are needed, what training strategies are successful, and what challenges may exist in developing this training at your institution. It will highlight specific methods to leverage students as peer teachers that not only are effective but also can provide an even larger return on investment beyond the teaching that is provided. Participants will be provided with resources for curricula, assessment tools, and innovative ideas to reward trainees for their teaching.
